The
Western world’s big crusade, these days, is to stamp out “hate”
and “bullying.” Our administrative class tries to do this
by bullying people into submission.

With
such a lofty enterprise in hand, our social engineering crowd—politicians,
teachers, police, and the usual sordid mix of bureaucrats and self-anointed
experts—perform actions which are very difficult to report. Readers
think you’re putting them on. The line between news and satire has
been just about erased. Case in point…

“Education
authorities” in Britain are now keeping permanent records of “racist”
or “homophobic” remarks made by children—yes, children—eleven
years old and younger: some of them as young as three years old; the thought
police are busy in the nursery schools. (Source: “’Racists’
aged THREE: Toddlers among thousands of children accused of bigotry after
name-calling,” by Kate Loveys in The Daily Mail, Sept. 14, 2011)
The children are deemed to have been guilty of hate crime. A record of
the offense will follow each child throughout his entire school career
and will be made available to college admissions officers and even employers
for the rest of the three-year-old criminal’s life.

No,
this is not satire. I’m not just making it up. “Figures…
were obtained under the Freedom of Information Act” by a civil liberties
group, reports The Daily Mail.

Why
are they doing this? In 2002 Britain’s Labour Party government required
schools to report “all racial incidents”—the operative
word is “all”—to their friendly neighborhood Local Education
Authority. The rationale was “to stamp out bullying.”

So that’s
the reason they give: but the real reason is that these people are both
wicked and insane.

To believe
that heavy-handed government action can actually re-make human nature
is insane. To want to try to do it is wicked.

Is there
a name for a religion characterized by the worship of intractably sinful
idiots? Yes, there is. Its name is humanism. Its high priests come along
and promise us an earthly paradise if only we put ourselves in their hands
and obey them unreservedly. The end result is usually a pile of dead bodies.

Public
schools are this religion’s temples. Where else can you find trained,
accredited professionals who honestly believe a three-year-old child can
be an enemy of the people? And if they don’t honestly believe it,
that’s even worse! But in all likelihood, teachers’ union
members are perfectly capable of believing such a thing. As for parents
who entrust their children’s “education” to such people—well,
who can even imagine what they’re thinking?

“Hate”
is, to them, intolerable. They hate hate, and anyone who hates must be
pummeled into a state of numb compliance. If the previous statement strikes
you as illogical, you are obviously not yet ready to be a public school
teacher.

It’s
too bad they have to break all those eggs—but they’re making
an omelet, and they can’t afford to be squeamish. The fact that
humanists never get beyond the egg-breaking stage of producing their utopian
omelet seems to make no impression on them whatsoever.

Britain
is but one nation of the West that has rejected the true God and turned
to false ones. And the false gods are cruel. They’re only power-hungry,
crack-brained mortal men and women, so they have to be cruel. They pretend
to higher wisdom and fly around in private jets, but the glamor always
wears off eventually and then they have to stomp on people to keep them
in line.

It could
be worse in Britain. They could be packing off these homophobic toddlers
to re-education camps. They could sentence the parents to labor camps.
But at least in Britain the ruling class has learned that it’s better
to keep the masses paying taxes instead of just rotting away behind barbed
wire. Someone, after all, has to pay for all those jets and limousines—not
to mention teacher pensions.

Meanwhile,
what’s 30,000 children on a lifelong hate-crime watch list, if it
means the final abolition of bullying? What price is too great to pay
for a world without poverty, hate, inequality, war, global warming, or
trans-fats? “All this can be yours,” says Satan, “if
you will only fall down and worship me.”

That’s
what Satan always says. And the answer, in the words of Our Lord Jesus
Christ, is this:

“Get
thee hence, Satan: for it is written, Thou shalt worship the Lord thy
God, and Him only shalt thou serve.” (Matthew 4:10)

One
last question: why should we care what happens over there in Britain?

Just
wait. You won’t have to wait very long before the answer to that
question becomes most painfully obvious.
